Polnareff Jean-Pierre

Japanese name:

ジャン・ピエール・ポルナレフ

Learning of his sister's death, he searches for the man that killed her. His Stand powers attracted Dio Brando, and in the same manner as Dio did with Kakyoin, lured him to a fight, and then brainwashed him afterwards.

Under the influence of Dio, he attacked the Joestar party in Hong Kong. He was confronted by Avdol, and defeated after some difficulty. While conceding in his defeat, Jotaro sensed Dio's cells in Polnareff's forehead and removed the implant.
Afterwards, Polnareff joins the Joestar group in their quest to destroy their nemesis, Dio Brando. He got his shot on J. Geil, the murderer of his sister and successfully avenged her death.

Polnareff is the stereotypical "good natured klutz": he is heroic and protective of those he loves, but is not very bright (although he has shown lots of cunning and strategy throughout the series). He is very impulsive and loud, and is quick to jump into action without considering the risk, character traits that have landed him in lots of trouble. However, he is sincerely dedicated to doing good, and is a good man to watch your back. He also fancies himself as a ladies man, but this is possibly just him overestimating his actual prowess.

Out of all the characters in the series, Polnareff is the one that has the least problems showing his feelings, and he adds a lot of humor and warmth to what would otherwise be a pretty cold team (Kakyoin and Jotaro in particular are very cold characters). Indeed, while he may sometimes be seen as the comic relief of the series, Polnareff's companions appreciate his good nature and trust him to help them win when a tough battle arrives.

Interestingly, Polnareff's best friends during the course of the series are Mohammed Avdol and Iggy, both of whom he couldn't stand when they first met. In fact, no character mourns the deaths of his companions like Polnareff does, and no other character is as dedicated to avenging them.

His stand Silver Chariot is a very powerful, battle-dedicated Stand: all its powers are destructive in nature or assist him in battle. In appearance, it looks like a thin, robotic humanoid clad in medieval armor, armed with a rapier. Silver Chariot is an incredibly agile Stand, able to attack enemies with barrages of sword slashes and thrusts before the opponent can react.
